Wolffsohn: „Violence against Jews is coming exclusively from Muslims“

Berlin. Historian Michael Wolffsohn is concerned about increasing anti-Semitism in Europe by Muslims. „We have and ever increasing Muslim minority, which is being radicalised“, says Wolffsohn zuNeuen Zürcher Zeitung.

Wolffsohn said he hasn’t seen the danger of Islamists taking over power in Europe, but he observes with worries, that law enforcement agencies in France and Germany are not prepared to the threat by Islamist extremism.

It is also a problem that the root cause of the growing Antisemitism is not clearly addressed. „ When I ask around in my Jewish circles of acquaintances, they all say the same thing: Violence against Jews is coming exclusively from Muslims. „ In official crime statistics however, anti- Semitic crimes are prevvalinly classified as politically motivated „right-wing criminality“.

„Violent Antisemitism today does not come from the right.“

„Many incidents end up in a separate statistic for politically motivated crimes under ‚Israel- Palestine- Conflict’. This can be seen as obfuscation, because it leads to a completely distorted perception, Wolffsohn criticises.

Surely, there were also right-wind anti-Semites, such as for instance the former Chief of the Front National, Jean-Marie Le Pen, but he had never called for violence against Jews. „The same is true in Germany for AfD and Pegida. The violent Antisemitism today does not come from the right.“

The danger for Jews in Germany today does not come from families, in which the parents vote for the AfD – a party which Wolffsohn sternly opposes. „They danger comes from Muslim families“, he emphasises. He knows many Jews, who are contemplating to emigrate from Germany.

„They are much younger than I and say they are moving to Israel for their children’s sake. Others reveal they no longer send their children to public schools and kindergartens. Out of fear of beatings and mobbing“. What is happening to Jews today, could at some point happen to the majority of the people, the historian warns.

But this majority has, unlike the Jews, no second home like Israel, as Michel Houellebecqs describes in his novel „Submission“. (krk)

Comment AEG: Even though almost none of the perpetrators are Germans, to classify anti-Semitic crimes perpetrated by Middle Eastern Migrants is as “right-wing extremism” not far fetched, it is just not European right -wind extremism, because most radicalised Muslims hold Nationalistic and authoritarian views, not German Nationalist views. For Instance, It turns out that people with German-Turkish double citizenship living in Germany, overwhelmingly vote left in Germany, but right in Turkey at the same time.
